Golf Cart Wheel and Tyre Sizes, Explained
Share
The size is printed on the tyre sidewall. A tyre marked 18x8.5-8 is 18 inches tall, 8.5 inches wide, and fits an 8-inch wheel. The last number is always the wheel size.
Check your bolt pattern
Club Car, Yamaha and EZGO commonly use a four-stud pattern of 4 x 101.6mm. Check yours before ordering.
Staying standard
An 8-inch steel wheel with an 18x8.5-8 tyre is the factory size and needs no lift kit. Our 8-inch White Steel Wheel & Tyre Package is A$139 a wheel or A$499.95 for four.
Going bigger without a lift
A 12-inch alloy with a low-profile 215/35-12 tyre keeps the overall height close to standard, so most carts need no lift kit. The wheel grows and the sidewall shrinks. Our Slate 12-inch Alloy package is A$995 for a set of four, with caps and lug nuts.
Running wider tyres?
Fender flares cover tyres that sit past the bodywork and cut spray from wet grass.
